Research Grants
The Undergraduate Research Center (URC) offers funding opportunities that help students pursue research throughout the year. Most funding is awarded through the URC's annual Fall Grants cycle, with additional support available for conference travel and summer research experiences.
Fall Grants
The Fall Grants cycle includes two funding options:
- Foundation Grants: Up to $2,000 for research expenses and/or a student stipend. A video submission is required.
- URC Grants: Up to $750 for research expenses and/or a student stipend. No video submission is required.
Travel Grants
Travel grants help students attend conferences, professional meetings and exhibits to present or engage with research in their field. Travel Grants are limited and applications are accepted throughout the year.
